Chapter 135: A Trip to the West Market (Part II)
The trip to the West Market was destined to be a wrong choice, and before he got off the carriage and reached a hundred steps, Li Qin 'flashed' his waist; after walking another ten steps, Li Ke 'stumbled' his feet, and a pair of unscrupulous brothers directly abandoned their poor big brother.
Seeing Li Ke and Li Qin squeezing their eyebrows and leaving, Li Chengqian decided that he must bring a dog when he comes out next time, a very big dog, and whoever wants to let the dog bite him if he is 'injured' again.
"Brother, do you think this hairpin looks good?" The little girl asked, holding a wooden hairpin.
"Brother, look at me." Another little girl is joining in the fun.
"Mine is the most beautiful." This is Princess Baling.
In addition to being good-looking, what else can Li Chengqian say? The most critical problem is that it costs money to say that it looks good.
Before the West Market reached a tenth of the time, Li Chengqian felt that he was about to collapse.
It's not a big problem to pay for it, anyway, there are nothing valuable in the West Market, but what's the matter with answering all kinds of weird questions? How did the sugar man blow out and how did the paper kite fly into the sky? What's on the west side of the Western Regions? What else is further west?
In the process of chattering and answering various questions, Li Chengqian was also responsible for watching a few little girls not run away, although each of them had guards around them, but the little girls who ran back and forth in the crowd like butterflies could not be kept up with tall and big guards.
In the end, Li Chengqian had to force the little girls not to leave him five steps away, so that the guards were relieved.
"Brother, brother, I just saw a guy so weird." The troubled princess Baling came to Li Chengqian's side for the Nth time and said mysteriously.
"Really? Where is it? What's so strange? Li Chengqian asked perfunctorily.
"There was a man there, holding a jar and drinking, and there was no food, and he was the only one." Princess Baling turned around and pointed to a small hotel behind her.
"Shall we take a look then?" Li Chengqian took advantage of the topic to play.
There's really no way, it's too tiring to accompany a few little girls shopping, and you have to do everything you can to find every opportunity to rest, otherwise you have to go crazy.
Then Li Chengqian thought of the two brothers Li Ke and Li Tai, as well as the big dog that didn't exist.
even coaxed a few little girls back and dragged them to the small hotel together.
"Shopkeeper, have more side dishes, and a big pot of tea." After entering the small hotel, Li Chengqian sent his sisters to sit at a table alone, and sat in front of the young man who was holding the jar and drinking.
"This little boy, there are people here." The young man glanced at the 'bald king' beside Li Chengqian, and said to him with a nonchalant expression.
"It doesn't matter, why do you have to know each other when you meet, meeting in the vast sea of people is fate." Li Chengqian said grinningly.
He would rather grind his teeth with a stranger than spend time with those little girls.
"Why do you have to know each other when you meet...... good sentence. When drinking a glass. The young man repeated in a low voice, poured a glass of wine, and drank it all.
"A few little ladies over there are sisters." Li Chengqian said without words.
"Guan Gongzi seems to be everyone's child, why do you patronize this small hotel?" The young man did not answer Li Chengqian's words, but instead did not start a stove and set up Li Chengqian's details.
"If I say that I am more curious about Brother Tai, I came to get acquainted with him, but I don't know that Brother Tai is credible." Li Chengqian motioned for the 'bald king' to bring some side dishes with wine, and then turned his head to the young man and said.
"Believe, but Ma is a down-and-out person, but he is destined to disappoint the little boy." The young man said lightly, as if the man who had fallen was not him.
"Brother Ma is exaggerating." Li Chengqian waved his hand, then pointed to the plates of appetizers brought by the 'bald king' and said, "I invite Brother Ma to eat, how about Brother Ma invite me to drink?" ”
"What does the little boy want?" The young man surnamed Ma put down the wine glass in his hand, looked at Li Chengqian and said.
"What do you call Brother Ma?" Li Chengqian ignored the question of the young man surnamed Ma and diverted the topic and said.
"What exactly does Ma have that deserves the attention of the little boy?" The young man surnamed Ma asked.
"I want to find someone, similar to Brother Ma, so I asked." Li Chengqian saw that if he didn't say the purpose, the young man surnamed Ma was destined not to say who he was, so he also gave up his insistence.
"Ma has other things, so I will leave." The young man surnamed Ma didn't continue to take out a few copper coins, put them on the table, got up from the stool, and walked out of the store.
"You ......" Wang Chenghu saw that the young man surnamed Ma was so ignorant, and he stretched out his hand to arrest someone.
"Lao Wang." Li Chengqian stopped the 'bald king', looked at the direction the young man left, and said, "Find someone to follow him and see where he goes." ”
"Whoa!" Wang Chenghu agreed, waved to a beggar at the door of the store, and then walked back.
"Reliably?" Casually pulling the side dishes on the plate, Li Chengqian asked.
"The face is very familiar, it should be someone from the palace." Wang Chenghu knew that Li Chengqian was asking about the beggar just now.
"Hmm." Li Chengqian nodded, got up and walked towards the table of a few little girls.
He didn't wonder why there were people in the palace who were beggars, and a large number of princes and princesses came out of the West Market to hang out, and if there were no palace guards secretly following them, they would call out ghosts. Even Li Chengqian felt that even when he went out, there would be some guards around him secretly following.
"Brother, who is he?" Seeing Li Chengqian coming back, Princess Baling asked curiously.
"I don't know, I was scared away." Li Chengqian spread his hands and said. Although Li Chengqian suspected that the young man just now was the Ma Zhou he was looking for, he did not dare to settle down.
"It's so timid." Princess Baling pouted and said.
But soon the little girl's attention was devoted to all kinds of strange items on the table, and in the morning, a lot of strange things were bought, and the little girls needed to show off to each other.
But a white translucent thing on the table attracted Li Chengqian's attention.
"Where did you buy this?" Picking up the things and putting them in the palm of his hand to look at them, Li Chengqian asked casually.
"From a Hu merchant, and this is not bought, but given." Princess Yuzhang whispered.
"Sent?" Li Chengqian frowned.
"Hmm. He had a lot of them on his stall, but the colors were too ugly, so I chose this one. Princess Yuzhang said glutinously.
"Did he say where this came from?" Li Chengqian asked.
"He said that he burned it himself, and after Xiaocheng, he found that the color was too ugly, and no one wanted to sell it, so it became a gift." Princess Yuzhang didn't know what Li Chengqian was going to do, but she still made the origin of the things clear.
